I've been PP for years. It's easy for me & all I do (have 2 full file cabinet drawers full). I have sworn not to do any more! When I see even traditional patterns, I figure out & draw a master & print out on thin paper. My old computer had a great word processor where I could make squares, etc of any size but this IMac G5 has a lousy processor (pages) that I HATE.. Turned my hair even grayer... so manually draw out master pattern.

Not directly related to topic so apologize in advance but you can get a program for a mac that will let you use windows - Mr stitchnripper does this on his mac laptop from time to time.

Thank you SuziSew. I followed your link. I think this is something I can use. Just one more example of learning something useful from the Board!

You are very welcome. There are so many talented and knowledgeable people on the board I'm never sure when to post, so it's nice to know that I could share something useful.
